Blood of many colors covers the ground, the trees and the few surrounding buildings. The invasion occurred a few kilometers from the city of Nkomoto, a large urban center with more than ten million inhabitants. Things could have easily escalated if the ABB (Anti-Beast Brigade) led by General Durant had not immediately arrived on the scene to fix the problem before things got complicated.
This same general and his men who are in charge of cleaning operations after the elimination of the beasts by the master(s) accompanying them are still speechless in the face of the horror they have just experienced. General Durant, as supreme commander of the ABB, has no place in an operation like this, but he has heard several times about this master whose incredible brutality leaves no chance of survival to his victims. Having received the information that this extermination will be carried out by this particular master, General Durant took a front row seat to admire the show. Does he regret his choice or has he satisfied his curiosity? Only he knows the answer. While Durant's mind is still wandering, his eyes frantically peering into the carcasses of scattered beasts, the perpetrator of this carnage arrives within earshot of the general.
"It's over." The man said calmly.
General Durant jumps at the sound of his voice but the man simply ignores his reaction and continues.
''Handle the payment as usual.'' The man adds.
General Durant finally came to his senses and responded.
"Yes, it will be done, but before leaving, I have a message from Mr. President. He would like to thank you personally and talk about the possibilities of expanding our collaboration." Said General Durant
"Tell him it can wait. I have a personal matter to manage." Said the man.
"But... It's the president and he..." General Durant stammers.
Without even listening to what General Durant had to say, he turned and set off again on his new mission.
"If I want things to be done well, I have to do them myself." The man said solemnly. "This was the case in the past and today it has not changed."
This man, who has been very well known in high society for a few years, is known as the master mercenary. Known for his unparalleled brutality, he never failed to complete a mission. States use him for large sums of money to solve invasion problems but no one really knows who this person is. A man in his forties, a very athletic body. He is at least one hundred and ninety-five centimeters. He has braided hair in the middle of his head and completely shaved edges. His appearance commands respect and fear.

The group of young people is finally back in the house by the lake. Lalla, Ékobo and Bindzi are in the training room. Ama is probably in the beastly plan preparing for her ceremony.
Bindzi holds his two blades in his hand and prepares to face Ékobo and Lalla.
********
Ama stands at the end of the intricate formation carved into the ground. The various totems arranged in a spiral shape and the symbols engraved on the ground are now saturated with energy. An aura formed by clusters of multicolored energy floats above the formation. The celestial sphinx stands at one end and Ama at the other end. No one could help her in the accomplishment of this ceremony, which is why she finds herself alone in front of this beast.
As usual, Ama wears a white floral dress, which is a complete contrast to the environment in which she finds herself.
The Celestial Sphinx looks at Ama and understands that she is ready. He launches the ceremony. It consists mainly in affirming the relationship between a master and his beast at the end of it, the master must name his beast to conclude the ceremony.
Walking along the arms of the two spirals brings the master and his beast closer and closer, harmonizing their thoughts and energies.
"Your bravery and relentlessness have led you to me." Said the celestial sphinx.
"I, who was just a child in search of power, couldn't have dreamed better than you." Ama said.
"Child perhaps, but your courage and nobility were already palpable." Said the celestial sphinx.
"You who have always guided my steps, will you still do it tomorrow?" Ama said.
"As long as I live, I will be by your side." Said the celestial sphinx.
"Even beyond life we will share the same existence." Ama said.
"Your wounds will be mine." Said the celestial sphinx.
"Your victories will be mine." Ama said.
"In adversity," says the celestial sphinx.
"Together we will emerge victorious." Ama said solemnly. "Come to me, son of the totemic god Zombo. From this moment and forever, you will be Elada, the one who unites heaven and earth." Ama said.
Theenergy that saturates the formation and the totems as well as the aura thatcovers the formation gradually gathers around Ama and the celestial sphinx. AsAma says her last words, she finds herself face to face with the CelestialSphinx. In unison, they raise their right hands and place their palms together.Energy builds up faster and faster around them and completely envelops them. Ablinding light envelops the entire area and in the center of this light we cansee Ama radiating energy like a celestial being. A light-yellow aura envelopsher body, which no longer wears any clothes like a baby who has just been born.However, no one was there to admire the awakening of a new sage. Acelestial master had just been born.
